Heron&Fox PhotoAfter a #launch “mishap,” #Orbital #ATK bought a #ULA #Atlas V launch to carry their #Cygnus #COTS #spacecraft to deliver supplies to the International #Space Station.
The United Launch Alliance’s #AtlasV #rocket’s first stage under-performed, but the #Centaur upper stage was able to deliver the vehicle into the correct orbit.
Here, a #shock cone forms around the nose of the Atlas V as it passes through #clouds.
